RE: Fill Empty Homes removal?

I guess it's been replaced with the "Move in" and "Move out" options from neighborhood stories.

It's kind of annoying that you have to set those options for each family that you want it but that's probably your best option now.

Turn it on for unplayed households in general, and then turn it off for the households you don't want to move in.

I have move out turned off, but move in turned on, and random sims are moved into houses fairly regularly. They just don't move out again. :grin:

Okay, so if I had both on, families would occasionally move in, and at some point, possibly move out as well, like real life?
Where do they go if they move out? Another world, or what?

They become "not in world" households (like Father Winter, the Sages, or any other computer created NPC/Townie that doesn't have a home lot assigned.)

It did, I had one person in a 4 bedroom house and four in a one bedroom house. Had to switch them.

Heya,

The check box option under Options > Gameplay was meant to be removed when Neighborhood Stories was released, as the Neighborhood Stories option regarding empty households overrides the functionality of that button.

This will be updated in a future release.

I'm guessing if you only set the Move in option it will work the same as the fill empty homes by having homeless sims move in. Some clarification on that would be nice though.

That sounds easier, thank you for sharing.

@SailorCeti There is a new feature with Neighbourhood Stories which means NPCs can move in and out of lots now.

I've noticed Neighbourhood Stories filling up houses with large families in 2 bedroom houses. I think the fill empty houses didn't do that did it?
